You're still just a small fry in the grand scheme of heavy lifting.

Commissioner Clyburn;

First, I would like to thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to answer some of our questions. I have just one question for you today: How will the FCC's final rule on Net Neutrality prevent artificial manipulation of supply and demand by broadband companies similar to what Enron did in the late 90s / early 00s with electrical power in the West? We Californians suffered at the hands of corporate greed due to artificially strained power supplies, and now the Nation may face similar abuses in the form of the flow of information.

Without proper safeguards, corporations engaged in the ISP business will be able to artificially limit the flow of information and knowledge, which I view as a far greater threat to democracy, technological advancement, and peace than the artificial manipulation of the supply of energy that Enron did. The same people who supported and profited from Enron's abuse of Federal preemption are now supporting Internet Fast Lanes.

Thank you Madam Commissioner.

Do the Lakota-Sioux have casinos? What are the politics among tribal leaders, members, and casino owners really like? Have you had troubles, like the California tribes, with criminal organizations infiltrating native-owned business? Are Federal Agents really that corrupt?

Are these two CA casinos anomalies or is this shit happening to you folks too: "Chukchansi Gold Resort & Casino" and "Rolling Hills Casino", both of which have been overrun by paramilitary gunmen.

Edit: misspelled Sioux, sorry!
